Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani teenager who, three years ago, was shot in the face by the Taliban for speaking out against their regime and demanding education for girls. She survived, continued her activism, and won the Nobel Peace Prize.
That much we already know. What most of us don't know is how ordinary Malala is. In the documentary He Named Me Malala, we're given access to a different Malala than we saw in the news—one who's charming in her normalcy as she teases her little brothers, googles pictures of Brad Pitt, and frets about her grades. Like, it's not enough that she's a world-famous activist—she's also a very likable person.
